It should be noted that his claim that fellow pitcher John Smoltz got inducted and he didn't because Smoltz is a Democrat is not only sour grapes by completely inaccurate. I can say with absolute certainty that Smoltz is in fact a Republican and even been courted by local Republicans to run for political office.
ETA: The percentage of those voting to induct Schilling into the Hall of Fame actually climbed 10 points this year over last so that pretty much falsifies his claim that his recent outspoken remarks have harmed him.
